If you want to make the best tasting Italian pizza recipes, use San Marzano tomatoes. San Marzano's have an intense and sweet flavor, so you won't need to add additional sweeteners to your pizza sauce recipes.

This tomato is known as the world's sauciest tomato and is an heirloom variety of the plum tomato.

San Marzano tomatoes are more oblong than they are round.

They have a thicker flesh and fewer seeds than the standard plum tomato.

Instructions:

Add olive oil to a pan and set to medium-low heat. Throw in the anchovy and when it starts to sizzle - stir in garlic for 1 minute.

Then add fresh oregano and turn the heat to low - stir for a couple of minutes.

Next, stir in the red pepper flakes and the dried oregano.

Then add the crushed tomatoes and raise the heat to medium - quick stir.

Bring sauce up to a simmer while stirring in the seasoning and sugar.

Simmer for 35 to 40 minutes - stirring occasionally.

Finally, stir in a pinch of baking soda to reduce acidity level.

Because San Marzano tomatoes have less seeds, this makes them less acidic and a better tasting tomato for your Italian pizza recipes. These tomatoes have a somewhat longer growing season and are very
suitable for warmer climates. They are grown in San Marzano a small
town near Naples Italy as well as in the United States.
